Default Hyperlink Properties in Word

How do I stop Word from converting a hyperlink property from file://My File
to \\myserver\myfile?

I want to create an index with links to files on the server. This structure
is repeated on another server in a different location, but I want to use the
same index. I can't do this when Word keeps converting the hyperlink
property to a full server path name.

Tools options general web options files uncheck 'update links on
save' may fix it.

Thanks Graham, but I have tried that. The link was still converted.
